Halloween Trick or Treating

Every Halloween we have 2 traditions: we go to my parents house to eat homemade Macaroni & Cheese (that is AMAZING and the one we grew up eating and fought over the leftovers) and then we go trick or treating around their neighborhood.
This was a fun night. Cael kind of got the hang of it all and he often got extra candy because everyone thought he was so cute :)

MMMM the best Macaroni!!

All dressed and ready to head out

Examining the candy carrier. By the end of the night that thing weighed almost 5 pounds with all the candy. YUM!! Guess that explains my stomach ache last night :)

Hugs with Aunt Emily

Winnie the Pooh and Daddy

Walking with Daddy and Nana (or as Cael pronounces it "Nanny")

On the hunt for more candy

He soon got tired and wanted to be held, only by nanny, of course


With Aunt Katie

OOOOH a whole candy bar!!

Since we forgot the stroller, this is what happened by the end of the night...

Yummy dessert of lemon cake with chocolate frosting

Eating his first lollipop

Reading with Kenny

What a fun time was had by all! And next year Gus vows that Cael will dress in something more menacing :)
